Figure 3 shows a ball mill with a dual pinion drive 2x 6500 kW with low speed induction motors (LSIM). The dual pinion drives demand tight tolerances in the torque between the two motors [2] to dynamically equalize the load on both pinions so that, in the long run, their duration is secured and the system availability guaranteed.

Modeling SAG Mill Performance. Prior to embarking on the development of any type of high level control strategy, a series of tests is required to determine the nature of the relationships between SAG mill throughput, load (as measured by bearing pressure and measurements inside the mill) and power draw (amps and/or kilowatts).

It meets the large load requirements of ball mill, and maintains the motor with steady operation state when the equipment is running at variable frequency, ensuring the motor has constant power characteristics. 2.
